I am a psychopathic, slightly-sadistic, evil mother-fucker. But at least I'm not one of the crowd of egotistical sheep. Now by this, what I mean is, is that everyone and their dog seems to rate this anime as being truly awful. Crap story, crap characters, crap animation, crap whatever. Basically people would suggest that this Anime is like rubbing crap on your television screen.
Hey, brothers! Some people may think that! Personally I don't. Now, let's discuss.
Basically, the story is about Shiro Amakusa, a leader of a Christian rebellion against the shogun's army or something. (They basically want the Christians to get the fuck out.) So anyway, Shiro is prophesied to be, well, the next Jesus. BUT, if he becomes corrupt (or something) he'll come back as Satan. Because we all know there's a fine fine line between Satan and Jesus. -Hides from overly-religious people-
GUIZ. DON'T FLAME ME. I AM ONE WITH THE AGNOSTIC PEOPLE.
So anyway. Many people, HATE the story. I can't see why, yeah it's simple. Yeah, it could be offensive, but, PFFFFTTT who cares? Satan's alright. Read Paradise Lost, I think Satan's a pretty interesting character. And hell, when he's bought in as a white-haired girly man, a Yaoi fan such as myself must watch! So anyway...
Characters
Yagyu Jubei - Because the show is two episodes long, we don't see much of characters, so stick with me through this. Jubei seems like an alright guy, strong and serious, but with a happy side, we see more of his back story in the start of the second OVA, but unfortunately this isn't adapted...
Shiro - He's like someone that your mum would want you to date. He seems like a nice guy to have around, then he goes batshit crazy and start tearing church roofs up and shit. Turns into this -
Not the ladies, the guy with the white hair.
OH.
Just thought I'd mention, not many people do. The way in which he turns into Satan.
I MEAN SERIOUSLY.
(Average black guys response)DAAAAAAAAAAAYUUUUUUUUM.
It looks painful, let's just say that. Poor old Shiro has his arms cut off. ( :c ) Then he's stabbed in the chest. Then he falls about, hmm, quite a distance. Then. And this is where it's like 'K LUL KWL.' He has sex with some woman...Well, she's on top, he's dying. Sexy. At this point in the Anime, if you're a die hard Athiest or Satanist you're probably loling your socks off at how much they went out of their way to fuck off the Christians. AND THEN. In case, you know, necrophilia and killing children wasn't your cup of tea, I know it sure is mine!
So, what happens next is...In the next OVA, the woman who shagged our dying friend, gives birth. Wahay. It's not really a baby though, or an Alien. Of course it's our good mate Satan. Which kind of makes Shiro his own dad and son...But we're not going into that. So, he bursts out of this woman, fully grown. TALK ABOUT PAINFUL. I mean seriously, I'm pretty sure, most people would rather get kicked in the balls that give birth in that sense.
ON WITH THE CHARACTERS...
We see some kids in the second OVA, they seem very, kid-like??? I do not know. D:
We see an old Samurai bloke who laughs at Jubei. He draws pictures, WUNDER IF HE HUS DEVIUNTURT!? HUR HUR HUR.
We see the EVIL OLD MAN, who makes Shiro into Satan, by getting his daughter to shag him. :| This guy made me laugh so many times, he's so funny looking.
We see Jubei's dad. Who's a bit of a knob.
We see the resurrected samurai...
A long grey-haired, badass mother-fucker, who slashes up women/children/men/pets/fish/the air/water/himself/the sky (that counts as air I guess)/space/the sun...And, you get the picture. He's the strong, silent one I think.
A BIG DUDE, see what I did there, I wrote 'big dude' in CAPS, just emphasise how big this guy is. He rapes a woman and she explodes. I can see a facebook group now - 'That awkward moment where you rape someone and they explode.' <- Don't think about that too much.
A guy with a mask, a skeletal face and intestines that kill people.
FAIR FUCKING PLAY.
Satan, of course, is in their little gang.
AND RIGHT.
FINALLY.
THIS GUY.
YEAH INORYT. Basically, there's a guy near the end, hanging with the old brother, and he just stands there, acts a bit scared then totally jizzes for Satan to be revived...:| He is just THERE. He's probably my second favourite character in all honest. BUT WHO THE FUCK IS HE?
So...
ANIMATION 8/10
I could make out everything that was going on, so there it was fine.
CHARACTER 4/10
I would of liked for there to be more character development.
STORY 8/10
So it wasn't Akira or fucking Harry Potter, the story is simple but down to the point, AANNNDD, it was never finished in Anime form due to the controversy of it, so can't judge. (Har har.)
SOUND 5/10
My ears didn't bleed at any point I guess.
OVERALL 6-7/10
Lol, let's face it, the marking system doesn't work one fucking bit.
Tell you this though, it felt like when they made this Anime, they KNEW it would be controversial. You got Satan and Christians being ripped apart, and things which are historically inaccurate and annoying characters and people you've never heard of just appearing...Wait, am I reviewing the bible.
OHHH CHEAP SHOT.
Sorry guiz, I am, seriously, agnostic.
Anyway, it felt like because they knew this was going to be crap they decided, fuck it.
THE HATERS ARE GOING TO HATE.
And with this they vomited out everything in the two OVAS out onto the audience. Great if you have a vomit fetish.
I liked this Anime because I like the violent, boundary-pushing animes. Problem? Suck my dick. Simples. Also, before you look at me like I'm promoting beating children...
I do know a good story/anime when I see one, no this isn't great. I can pretty much laugh it off and agree, that it can be very awful, but ah well.SOME MORE THINGS FOR THE WAY HOME
Was it finished?
This Anime was never finished, and probably wont ever be. Which sucks, because it could be turned into something other than a mindless hack and slash. D: Maybe I'll finish it myself acting it out with a few of my imaginary friends and a knife collection...
NINJA SCROLL!?
It has nothing to do with the god of Animes. Get over it.
